U-Jack

Inspiration

Instead of exploring urban tech solutions, we wanted to think about urban tech problems.

What it does

Allows users to anonymously share information about cars and packages that one might be interested in stealing/jacking/etc. Has an utility tool to make sure stolen amount isn't over the felony limit in SFO

How we built it

Used Kotlin in Android Studio, with Firebase as the database.

Challenges we ran into

Rendering images, storing images in the database, ui/ux design

Accomplishments that we're proud of

ui/ux design Being able to demo simultaneous usage by multiple users.

What we learned

How to build apps for android, design considerations to keep in mind. Good practices for data storage for anonymous users that still need to be paid.
